Best Compact Stereo System
(2019 – 2020)
“Combining style and simple operation with flexibility and striking performance, the Marantz ‘Melody’ series of compact systems has long been attracting plaudits – and the M-CR612, or ‘Melody X’, is its best yet.”
Marantz Melody X M-CR612 All-in-One Hi-Fi System
All-in-one
The Marantz M-CR612 does it all. Enjoy your favourite CDs and FM/DAB+ radio or stream music across your home with HEOS compatibility. Simply download the free HEOS app on your phone or tablet and control your compatible HEOS devices all in one place. With access to TuneIn Internet radio on top of Spotify, SoundCloud, Napster, Deezer, and TIDAL you’re spoilt for choice. The M-CR612 is also compatible with AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth for further wireless connectivity between your devices.
Marantz Elegance
Coming from Marantz, it is no surprise that the M-CR612 looks the way it does. Nothing says luxe quality quite like that glossy finish and clear digital display. The M-CR612 is also half-size making it much easier to situate in your home than larger amplifiers. Vertical lighting across the front panel accents the control buttons and enhances the product’s shiny appearance. Choose from a black or silver-gold finish to compliment your unique interior. Either way, Marantz specially selected all materials to promote the best sound delivery.
Musicality
With four channels offering distortion-free digital audio amplification, you could drive two pairs of speakers and use a dedicated volume control for each pair. Alternatively, set your M-CR612 to channel all its power through one pair of speakers for double the drive. Bi-amp a set of compatible speakers for extra clarity between your high- and low-end frequencies.
Works with TV
By using one of the two digital audio inputs on the M-CR612, connect your TV or cable/satellite box and Blu-ray/DVD player. This will improve the sound quality of your source with greater dynamic range and detail. Once connected to your TV, the M-CR612 will automatically sense audio signal and wake from its hibernation. From here, programme the M-CR612 to work with your existing TV remote for volume adjustment and source selection.
Speech Command
Talk to your favourite AI assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple Siri and let them adjust your M-CR612 settings wirelessly. Once paired, ask your selected assistant to skip, reverse, or pause the track as well as change the volume or inputs. Functionality may vary depending on your choice of voice assistant.
Marantz Heritage
Since 1953 Marantz has developed a strong reputation as a designer of high-end audiophile equipment. They are seen as a dependable brand by music lovers across the globe. The quality and dependability of Marantz are embedded in the M-CR612 to continue the tradition of great listening experiences.
